It is my privilege, together with the Hart and the wider Bloomsbury team, to take the list forward and build on his rich legacy. I am very grateful for the warm and generous welcome which has been extended to me by Hart authors and I very much look forward to working with you in the future. Hart authors’ great tradition of prize winning scholarship continued unabated in 2014. In particular, I am delighted to congratulate James Goudkamp, author of Tort Law Defences and Jure Vidmar, author of Democratic Statehood in International Law who were awarded the 2014 SLS Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship (Joint Second Prize). Warm congratulations also go to Brian Sloan: his title Informal Carers and Private Law was awarded the University of Cambridge’s Yorke Prize. The prestigious American Society of International Law’s Francis Lieber Society Book Prize 2014 was awarded to Russell Buchan’s International Law and the Construction of the Liberal Peace.

Four different rankings had given Cambridge the top position. Times Higher Education puts us sixth (incomprehensibly, after Oxford). While all league tables are suspect, we can surely trust the consistency of Cambridge’s position in the world’s top ten. Still more trust can be put in the Tompkins table of Tripos rankings that have placed Trinity top in 2011, since Tripos marks are measurable in a way that ‘quality and satisfaction’ can never be.

    Lord Cooke and Cambridge

    27 LORD COOKE AND CAMBRIDGE Professor A T H Smith* This article seeks to explain the enduring formative influence that early life in Cambridge and at Gonville and Caius College exerted on Lord Cooke’s intellectual (and social) development. It suggests that his early experiences provided something of a platform which enabled Lord Cooke to take a leading part in the subsequent development of New Zealand’s separate legal identity. When Sir Robin Cooke was elevated to the peerage in 1996, he took as his title "Baron Cooke of Thorndon in Wellington and Cambridge in the County of Cambridgeshire". The reference to Cambridge was, I believe, rather more than simply an affectionate tribute to a part of the world in which he had once been a young student and don, and of which he harboured fond memories throughout the course of his life thereafter. Like his reference to "Thorndon",1 it was intended to be a public acknowledgment of the debts (primarily intellectual, but also social) that he had contracted in the course of his experiences in Cambridge and England. In his funeral address, Sir Michael Hardie Boys – a former Governor General of New Zealand and for a time Robin's colleague on the Court of Appeal – said that Robin2 was "a Cambridge man through and through".3 My purpose in this brief essay is to expand on that observation and to seek * Pro Vice-Chancellor and Dean of Law, Victoria University of Wellington. I have spoken to a number of people in the course of writing what follows, and I am particularly grateful to Lady Cooke, Francis Cooke QC, Wendy Cooper (sister), Bill Shires QC and Mrs Shires, Dale Densem and Sir Gordon Bisson for their patience with my questions.
